OUT OF THE GARDEN AND OTHER TALES OF THE BARBARIAN KABAR OF EL HAZZAR by Angeline Hawkes. Bad Moon Books. Trade Paperback.

Through brutal landscapes and savage places, the barbarian Kabar of El Hazzar travels an ancient land full of witchery, forces of darkness and foul creatures. What makes a man? Is it wealth, customs and lineage; or is it the weapon in his hand and the courage in his heart? Cold steel meets hot flesh as Kabar fights, conquers and loves his way through primitive and ruthless civilizations ruled by evil kings, malevolent sorcerers and blood-splattered curses. Beasts and monstrosities match wits and swords in this action-packed, gore-drenched, loins-pumping collection of tales of the barbarian from El Hazzar.

In Out of the Garden, Angeline Hawkes delivers tales of swords and sorcery as solid as steel and as sensuous as silk slipping off a slender shoulder. Kabar’s world is wild and often frightening; his author’s imagination doesn’t make his life easy. It does, however, make for a great read.

Where do you get your ideas?

It’s probably the most common question an author gets asked during his or her career.

This anthology isn’t meant to answer that question, but it is designed to give readers a glimpse into how the imagination works.

These talented authors were shown a haunting piece of artwork by acclaimed artist Alan M. Clark and then asked: “What worlds do you see hidden inside this painting?”

The stories collected in this book are their answers.

HOMESTEAD by James A. Moore. Cemetery Dance Publications. Book 11 in the Signature Series. Signed Limited Hardcover.

Home is where the pain is…. Kathy Erinson just wanted a hobby, something to help her relax and keep her from getting too bored. What she didn’t expect was that the illustrations she started working on would try to tell her secrets best ignored.

What she didn’t expect was the sudden wash of memories about people and things she’d done her very best to forget about: Her first kiss, her best friend, her family and the dark, dark things that were done once to protect family and homestead alike.

Something from the past has come back and that something is very unforgiving.

TYLER’S THIRD ACT by Mick Garris. Cemetery Dance Publications. Book 12 in the Signature Series. Signed Limited Hardcover.

How much would you pay to experience something truly disturbing?

Tyler Sparrow isn’t too happy about recent changes in the movie and television industry. The continuing emphasis on unscripted reality entertainment is putting writers like himself out of work. As his career enters its “Third Act” (industry jargon for the final section of a film script), Tyler decides to take matters into his own hands: he’ll create and star in his own web-based program, something sensational and disturbing that will grab the short-attention-span of today’s fickle audiences.

Trouble is, if the program is successful, then audiences will be hungry for more… and it will become increasingly difficult to satisfy their appetites.

What happens when you mix the knowledge of a media-industry insider with a horror writer’s eye for the bizarre? You get Tyler’s Third Act, Mick Garris’s satire on the twisted world of reality programs.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, A DEWEY DECIMAL NOVEL by Nathan Larson. Akashic Books. Signed Limited Hardcover.

AFTER A SERIES OF LARGE-SCALE TERRORIST ATTACKS, New York City is reduced to a shadow of its former self. As the city struggles to dig itself out of the wreckage, a nameless, obsessive-compulsive veteran with a spotty memory, a love for literature, and a strong if unique moral code, has taken up residence at the Main Branch of the New York Public Library. Dubbed “Dewey Decimal” for his desire to reorganize the library’s stock, he gets by as bagman and muscle for unscrupulous politicians and underworld figures–as detailed in the first book in this series, The Dewey Decimal System.

IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, Decimal, attempting to clean up loose ends after the violent events of first book, stumbles upon information concerning the gruesome murder of a prostitute, and a prominent U.S. senator’s involvement. Immediately he finds himself chasing ghosts and fighting for his life, pursued by Blackwater-style private military contractors and the ever-present specter of his own past. Decimal confronts a twilight world of Korean hostess bars, childhood bogeymen, and the face of the military-industrial complex gone haywire–all framed by a city descending toward total chaos.

NATHAN LARSON is best known as an award-winning film music composer, having created the scores for over thirty movies, such as Boys Don’t Cry, Dirty Pretty Things, and Margin Call. His highly acclaimed debut novel, The Dewey Decimal System, was published in the spring of 2011.

By turns eerie, lyrical, adventurous, and philosophical, the stories in Angeline Hawkes’s new collection Out of the Garden are top-notch heroic fantasy, and her protagonist, the barbarian Kabar of El Hazzar, is a compelling character. The title novella from this book is a stunning blend of action, fantasy, and theology. I hope Kabar continues his perilous wanderings for a long time!

TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE issue #1. IDW Publishing 2012

INFESTATION 2 issue #1. IDW Publishing2012.

IDW’s ground-breaking, multi-universe event returns with INFESTATION 2. As with the blockbuster original, this epic invasion will spread throughout the IDW-verse and into many fan-favorite titles. With INFESTATION 2, tentacled Lovecraftian “Old Ones” reach across time and space and threaten to destroy everyone everywhere and everywhen.

I am really excited about the Infestation storyline. The first Infestation crossover was awesome! How can you go wrong with zombies munching their way through Transformers, Ghostbusters, and G.I. Joe.

This time around there is an infestation of the great old ones, the elder gods, the sleepers that dwell in nightmare. See what happens when the elder gods influence the Transformers, G.I. Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Eberron (Dungeons & Dragons) and Barrow, Alaska in 30 Days of Night.

Happy Reading!!

I am a sucker for werecreature story, especially ones that make the were’s into human’s are our food not friends story, so I did a little happy dance when the first issue of Ferals came in!

David (CROSSED) Lapham returns to his Stray Bullets roots with a brutal supernatural crime drama that features the grueling horror of a new type of werewolf!. Officer Dale Chesnutt has a big bloody problem – slaughtered civilians are turning up in the sleepy town of Cypress and now it’s on him to figure it out.

If you are a fan of the Vertigo series Fables then you should give Memorial a try. Great story (Chris Roberson) and art (Rich Ellis) with covers by fantasy artist Michael Kaluta.

New York Times best-selling author and Eisner-nominated creator of iZombie, Chris Roberson, delivers a magical ongoing new series. Memorial is the story of Em, a young woman who arrives at a hospital in Portland, Oregon, with no memory of her past. A year later, she has rebuilt her life, only to find her existence thrown into turmoil after she inherits a magical shop. The kind that appears in an alley one instance and disappears the next. Em is drawn into a supernatural conflict between beings that not only represent, but are, fundamental elements of the universe itself. All of existence is at stake, so there’s only a little pressure on Em, the magical shop, and a talking cat.

Up next is one of the all time best action adventure stories Lord of the Jungle (Tarzan). This is not a re-telling of the story but an uncensored telling of the Tarzan story.

The original Lord of the Jungle returns! If you thought you knew the story, think again! For the first time in its 100 year history the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs story, Tarzan of The Apes is told UNCENSORED! This series will capture the savagery and action of the original while expanding on it with new elements! The story begins in the late 1800s, John Clayton, Lord of Greystoke, and his wife, the Lady Alice, are left stranded on a remote African coast. They must fend for themselves in this savage world, and the fact that Lady Alice is pregnant doesn’t make things any easier!

Again those are just the highlights that stick out in my mind, but there is a ton more titles that have come out of ongoing series like….

Ghostbusters, Hellraiser, Hellraiser Masterpieces, The Game of Thrones, The Cape, Locke & Key, Warlord of Mars, Flash Gorden: Zeitgeist, Valen the Outcast, Star Trek, Dungeons & Dragons, Transformers, 30 Days of Night, The Dunwich Horror, Voltron…

See a TON! And that is just scratching the surface of what we have available. All the above and more can be found in our Bad Moon Comics eBay store. As always if you are looking for a particular comic or trade paperback and don’t see it listed please drop me a line (liz@badmoonbooks.com) and I will try and get it for you.
